Performance Comparison: Uniswap v4 Indexer with the Graph versus SubQuery

Same project. Same setup.

The Graph:
• Blocks indexed: 135,447
• Duration: 147 mins
• Blocks per minute: 921

SubQuery:
• Blocks indexed: 295,744
• Duration: 115 mins
• Blocks per minute: 2,571
→ 2.79x faster

Result? SubQuery indexed almost 3x faster - straight out of the box ⚡

SubQuery Customer Spotlight: Omnichain Builders 🦾

The hardest part of building cross-chain isn’t moving assets, it’s making sense of fragmented data.

Here’s how some omnichain protocols tackle it:

Pike Finance – native cross-chain protocol across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism & Base; indexes fragmented data into unified ETL pipelines powering dashboards, analytics feeds, and integrations like DefiLlama & Token Terminal.

Fufuture – cross-chain DeFi infrastructure (multi-chain lending & staking), using SubQuery to aggregate complex protocol data into actionable datasets.

Folks Finance – crosschain lending & borrowing DeFi protocol; integrates SubQuery for real-time analytics on swaps, lending ops, and protocol performance.

Silo Finance – multi-chain lending protocol (Sonic, Arbitrum, Base, Ethereum); tracks isolated liquidity pools & user positions for real-time insights.

StakeStone – now focusing on Neo-banking and launching stoneUSD, a yield-bearing stablecoin; uses SubQuery to track cross-chain liquidity and asset movements across its EVM networks.

FearlessWallet – use SubQuery to collect, organise & present account history for each address, including transactions, extrinsics & staking revenue.

Different chains, same problem: wrangling fragmented on-chain truth into a single, usable source for building dashboards, protocols, and analytics.

What if you could tell AI “build me an indexer that tracks wallet transfers” and it just… did?

That’s Vibe Coding.

SubQuery Community Update

We have been informed that as of Friday, October 31, 2025, the SQT token will be delisted from Bybit. Given that SQT has consistently met Bybit’s trading requirements, we strongly disagree with this decision.

We want to be transparent with our community: the SubQuery team was notified of this decision a few days ago, and we took no action to sell tokens or otherwise benefit from this information.

While this decision is disappointing, it also opens the door for new exchange listings and opportunities to expand SQT’s accessibility across a broader range of trading platforms.

Our mission remains unchanged and this is an opportunity to bring SQT to new platforms and an even wider audience.

Tokenomics Update

In line with our long-term commitment to transparency and sustainability, we will also be announcing an update to our tokenomics. The SQT token is moving fast toward a non-inflationary model. More details to come here, but this change is a reflection of our dedication to maintaining a stable and fair ecosystem for all participants.

As always, the SubQuery team remains committed to supporting our community and ensuring continued access to $SQT and the SubQuery Network 🙏

If your project runs on Blast, Lens, Fuse or Mode, you’ve probably seen the news — the Graph Network is ending indexing support.

The infrastructure you build shouldn’t switch up on you.

Migrate to SubQuery for stability, customer support & advanced features (we can host your Subgraphs too).

If Web2 was ruled by algorithms,
Web3 will be ruled by intelligence.

SubQuery Customer Spotlight: Network Builders 🦾

Astar Network – multi-VM chain (EVM + WASM); relies on fast, stable SubQuery indexing to keep everything in sync.

Moonbeam Network – uses SubQuery to track block production for Orbiter pool; shared indexers allow community operators to verify block performance & rewards.

Zenchain – native staking protocol; SubQuery was the first and only tool they needed for consensus-critical indexing.

XION – uses SubQuery for mainnet & testnet indexing; able to handle massive traffic without degradation.

Satlayer – the economic layer for Bitcoin, turning BTC into a fully liquid, productive, and programmable asset; uses SubQuery to index Cube data, track deposits, and distribute Sats² points with precision.

Japan Open Chain – SubQuery powers network-level monitoring for Japanese ecosystem nodes.

Xcavate – index data using SubQuery to display property listings on the realXmarket app, built on Xcavate blockchain.

Dymension – monitors hub & RollApps (IBC transfers, swaps, burns); moved from Firebase cron jobs to SubQuery for faster, stable indexing.

From block production to staking to appchains, these networks rely on robust indexing to operate smoothly.

90 eras ago, the SubQuery Network and $SQT token launched together.

Nearly two years later, the network hasn’t missed a beat and the mission continues 💪

Congrats to Gamma Strategies, last month’s Consumer Rewards winner 💪

By hosting their indexer on our Network, they got 10x their costs back (1000%)!

It’s that simple.

You could be next - just host a SubQuery Indexer, Subgraph, or consume dRPCs.

100 million $SQT in rewards is still live.

Ending Inflation, For Good

SubQuery is entering a new era of sustainability.

We started with an inflationary model to bootstrap the network, but that phase is over. It made sense when we needed to get Node Operators online, but not so much now when we’re running a real economy.

Under Tokenomics 2.0, we’re ending inflation - permanently. No more new SQT minted each year (previously 1.3% inflation). The total supply will be fixed at 10.20 billion tokens, meaning every token in circulation now truly matters.

Inflation created noise. It hid the real value of the SQT token and disconnected rewards from actual network activity. This change removes the silent dilution that has existed since launch and ties the SubQuery network’s growth directly to real adoption and value creation.

Instead of minting tokens, we’ll grow through usage, demand, and utility - just like any sustainable economy should.

This is how SubQuery builds lasting value for SQT holders.

Shifting Ownership to the Community

True decentralization isn’t just about governance. It’s about ownership.

Initially with Tokenomics 2.0, SubQuery will gradually distribute the existing Foundation treasury tokens as network rewards and over time shift to a full revenue-backed model.. this reduces Foundation ownership and increases the community’s share of the total $SQT supply.

That means more tokens in the hands of the people who actually power the network: Node Operators, Delegators, and Consumers.

Every reward cycle makes the network more decentralized in a measurable way. That’s what we want.. less control at the top, more distribution in the network.

Alchemy is sunsetting its Subgraph business.

Deploy your Subgraph on the decentralised SubQuery Network, no migration needed.

Deploy your Subgraph with one of our centralised partners like OnFinality or Zeeve (Traceye), no migration needed.

Deploy your way. Don't stress about your infra.
